A cram ration is a kind of comestible. It is a vegan food, and is lighter but less filling than a food ration; their base nutrition/weight ratio is the same, and as of Nethack 3.6.1, dwarves gain an additional 100 nutrition from cram rations. Similar items known as C-rations and K-rations can also be found.
Prior to 3.6.2, orcish non-Wizards could potentially start the game with cram rations; there is code in prior versions intended to substitute tripe rations for cram and lembas wafers, and 3.6.2 fixes a bug that prevented the code from working, making it no longer possible.[1]
Strategy
Non-cursed cram rations are never rotten, which makes them a safer option than most other comestibles if you must eat while hostile monsters are nearby—this can be particularly useful during the ascension run or an encounter with Famine.
Messages
- This cram ration is bland.
- You ate a non-cursed cram ration.
Encyclopedia entry
If you want to know what cram is, I can only say that I don't
know the recipe; but it is biscuitish, keeps good indefinitely,
is supposed to be sustaining, and is certainly not entertaining,
being in fact very uninteresting except as a
chewing exercise. It was made by the Lake-men for long journeys.
